QuoteRef: grisRE4_1979 ;;18 "Unlike SNOBOL4 and SL5, Icon is intended to be practical for production programming
20 ;;Quote: evaluation in Icon seeks for successful results in the presence of alternative values
20 ;;Quote: an Icon generator tries alternatives until the entire statement succeeds; gives example QuoteRef: grisRE4_1979 ;;21 "the 'every construct produces all alternatives of an expression and evaluates a 'do clause for each alternative. An example is every i := (1|3|7) do f(i)" QuoteRef: grisRE4_1979 ;;22 "Another string operation that is a generator is find (s1,s2), which returns the locations at which s1 appears as a substring of s2.
23 ;;Quote: Icon provides system variables for the current state of the scanning function
25 ;;Quote: if a procedure suspends execution instead of returning, it can be reactivated later; allows implementation of generators QuoteRef: grisRE4_1979 ;;26 Icon defines character sets which consist of a set of characters. on output printed in collating sequence
28 ;;Quote: Icon tables include type of elements and type of subscripts
